Hi
I am having this issue with Git for Windows that in case I configure a credential helper by following the git credentials documentation (https://git-scm.com/docs/gitcredentials), the Git Credential Manager still pops up. I simply close the pop up window, and then it seems to be getting the password from my credential manager.
I removed it using git config --edit --system, but after every update, it pops out again.
I wonder if some proper fix is there for this.
